Live and Learn (Part 1 - Even the Brightest Burn and Part 2 - Learning Curve) - Galahad

We had it good in the eighties

Everything coming up roses

We were drowning in success

Only dealing with the best

Really couldn’t care about the rest

They meant nothing to us

MONEY POWER GREED

Porsche 911, penthouse over the Thames

We had everything we desired

But the bubble had to burst

Unless we gave out first

We never thought it was an option

SELF-DECEIT SELF-CORRUPT

We live and learn

Even the brightest burn

We live and learn

Each of us has our turn

We rage and scorn

Don’t even know we are born

We live and learn

Even the brightest burn

Sure enough the big bang came

We were finally out of the game

Dizzy heights that we had scaled

Proved too much — we’d finally failed

Nothing left but rubble and dust

But now it all seems like

A perfect blessing in disguise

A learning experience

To which we are now wise

SELF-REALISATION

REGAINING SELF-ESTEEM

We live and learn

Even the brightest burn

We live and learn

Each of us has our turn

We rage and scorn

Don’t even know we are born

We live and learn

Even the brightest burn

But now I’ve got all in a better perspective

Now I’m back, jiving in the real world

I’ve got the love of a family and friends

Self-respect and happiness

Nothing more, nothing less

It’s all that matters to me

Part Two — Learning Curve

Learning curve

Learning curve

Rising, falling, arcing

Learning curve
